* "Shibboleth": [[WouldHitAGirl Frank McNare]] is a repulsive SerialKiller with a penchant for targeting young, physically fit women. Choosing his victim, Frank would then strip them to their underwear and tie them up by their neck and ankles, causing the victim to asphyxiate themselves when they got too tired from holding their position. A sadist at heart, Frank would repeatedly taunt the police by sending letters about their failure, and in one instance [[ForcedToWatch forced an officer to hear]] the dying pleas of one of his victims. Despite stopping his killings due to marrying a woman who'd he [[DomesticAbuse repeatedly abuse]], Frank resumes his homicides when diagnosed with cancer. Hearing his son, [[ParentalAbandonment who he had abandoned]], was a suspect for his latest murder spree, Frank happily lets him take the fall for his crimes, viewing him as weak and pathetic.

* "[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS15E12JerseyBreakdown Jersey Breakdown]]": [[AmoralAttorney Robert "Bobby" Masconi]], the Hudson County Prosecutor, is a corrupt New Jersey legal official and the clandestine business partner of nightclub entrepreneur and racketeer Perry Cannavaro. In addition to facilitating the [[HumanTrafficking trafficking]] and [[SexSlave prostitution]] of underage girls using Perry's clubs, Masconi abuses his position as a prosecutor to have 90% of juvenile offenders who come through the chambers of Judge Daniel Dolan--who Masconi had extorted by having the latter photographed being serviced by an underage prostitute--sent to the routinely abusive and inhumane [[JuvenileHell Knollwood Juvenile Facility]]. In turn, Masconi receives money for every offender Dolan sends to [[PrivateProfitPrison the institution]], laundering the money through a bogus publicity firm, and using the money for real estate purchases. Having sexually assaulted Claire Wilson, a teenage server working at one of Perry's clubs, Masconi has Claire [[FelonyMisdemeanor sent to Knollwood on fraud charges]]--behind Perry's back--[[SheKnowsTooMuch to silence her]] when he realizes Detective Olivia Benson and her squad are investigating the matter.

* "Abel & Willing": [[AntagonistTitle Dr. Abel Hazard]] is a [[PsychoPsychologist psychologist]] who became obsessed with pushing the limits of human goodness after learning that Nazis forced his grandfather to kill his grandmother. Hazard would kidnap innocent couples for him to [[PlayingWithSyringes experiment on]] before [[SadisticChoice forcing them to kill each other, or else he would kill them himself]], having already done this to eleven couples in five different cities. Even when one person chose to kill herself to save her spouse, thus disproving Hazard's theory, Hazard continues his murders anyway, [[NeverMyFault refusing to believe that he is wrong]].
